What color are these silkies?

[Jessica52305]

Silkies are 2 weeks old. Last photo is when they were 9 days old. I have a solid black one and 2 that are a dark grey color or are they blue? I’m not sure what color the light ones would be considered?

Did you hatch these yourself? Do you have the parents? Asking as the first two look to be self blue, also known as lavender. They are rare and have to come from lavender or black split to lavender parents.
It could also be a very light blue. Can be hard to tell this young.
The 3rd and 4th look blue, hard to tell for sure in the lightning. If you can repost with new photos in good lighting, that would help. Cute chicks!

the light ones could be splash or white, I don't know but they're cute little buggers!

Thank you! I got them from Hoover’s Hatchery. Here are a few more pics and I will try to take better pictures tomorrow

Not likely lavender then, as these would need to come from a breeder. Likely light blue, agree the lighter ones in the last new photos do indeed look to be splash. These are often hatched a clear white or silver color and then develop the splash markings as they grow over several months.

That’s what I’m thinking, thank you!
